Annual filings data forms the backbone of investment research, risk assessment, & competitive intelligence. Companies file these documents with regulatory bodies to disclose financial performance, management changes, shareholder information, and material events.  

Investors use annual filings to review opportunities. Compliance teams use them for required checks. Research teams use them to update models.

Pricing often feels unclear. Many providers bundle regions or change rates by client. Prices differ because each region requires different work. Some handle large issuer counts in many languages. Others follow structured formats that reduce processing time.

This blog breaks down annual filings pricing across six major regions. Also what drives the differences, and how to decide which region fits your needs. You will also understand how coverage links to value. All pricing details come from the Quantillium, which lists coverage across 60 exchanges and 40,000 companies.

What Filings Quantillium Covers

Quantillium includes three core financial reporting types across all regions.

- Annual filings include full year financial statements, management discussion, auditor reports, and governance details. They support fundamental review and long form analysis.
- Semi annual filings provide mid year performance updates in markets where regulators require them. They help teams track changes between annual cycles.
- Quarterly filings include reports such as U.S. 10 Qs and other interim disclosures in Canada and Asia. They support ongoing monitoring and short term research.

All three filing types are part of each regional package at one annual price.

What Factors Affect Cost

Annual filings data pricing reflects the work required to collect, process, standardize, and deliver information. Several factors drive these costs:

Company volume drives workload. Large regions with thousands of issuers require more monitoring across the year.
Translation needs increase processing time. Regions filing in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, or Russian need language support.
Filing formats differ. Some markets use PDFs, others use HTML or XBRL, which changes extraction effort.
Disclosure depth varies. Some exchanges publish long reports with detailed notes, while others use shorter formats that need more review to standardize.
Historical storage adds cost. Ten years of filings for large regions creates significant data volume.
Daily updates require strong automation. Systems must monitor regulatory sites throughout the day to keep data current.
Security mapping differs. Some regions use simple ticker formats, while others use multiple identifiers across exchanges.

Why Pricing Differs Across Regions

Regional prices reflect the work needed to deliver clean and consistent data, not GDP or market size. Regions with high company counts fall into the higher tier. East Asia has 12,792 companies and Asia Pacific has 12,174 companies, which creates heavy monitoring and validation work. The Americas sit in the same tier because U.S. filings contain detailed disclosures.

Some regions cost more due to processing complexity. Western and Central Europe has 4,446 companies but carries a higher tier because filings are long and often include multiple languages.
Lower volume regions sit at the 20,000 dollar tier. Northern and Eastern Europe has 1,800 companies and Middle East and Africa has 2,119 companies, which reduces total workload.
Language requirements also affect pricing. East Asia needs Chinese, Japanese, and Korean processing. Middle East and Africa needs Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, and Turkish support. These needs are reflected in each tier.

How Buyers Evaluate Regional Pricing

Buyers match regions to their real coverage needs. Company count alignment is the starting point. Tracking a small set of companies in a large region may not offer strong value unless broader discovery matters to you.

Cost per company helps compare regions. East Asia sits near 2 dollars per company. Northern and Eastern Europe sits near 11 dollars per company. A higher rate can still make sense if the filings match your research area or offer deeper disclosures.

Your need for history shapes value. Some teams only need the latest filing. Others need five or ten years of past data. Larger archives increase system load, so confirm whether you need full historical coverage or current filings only.

Bottom Line

Annual filings pricing reflects the real work behind global data collection. Regions with larger issuer counts, deeper disclosures, or heavy translation needs sit at higher tiers. Compare regions based on coverage and data quality, not price alone.
Match each region to the companies you follow. Review cost per company. Decide whether you need history or only current filings. A higher tier can still offer better value if it covers your core markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some regions cost more even with fewer companies?

Some regions take more work to process. European filings are long and often need translation, so the total workload stays high even with fewer issuers.

Can I purchase multiple regions at a discount?

Many providers offer bundled rates. You can talk with Quantillium to review options for multi region coverage.

How often are filings updated in each region?

Quantillium updates filings every day. New disclosures appear the same day regulators publish them.

Do all regions include historical filings?

Yes. Each region includes past annual filings, usually five to ten years depending on availability.

What format does the data come in?

Filings include structured documents with extracted text, metadata, and security identifiers. API access and bulk downloads are available.

Can I get filings in the original language?

Yes. Filings include both the original version and an English translation.

What happens if a company moves to a different region?

Security mapping follows listing changes. If a company shifts its primary market, it shows up under the new region in future updates.
